Assembly

Frameless RTA cabinets assemble like quality furniture with cam locks and dowels. Basic skills and normal home improvement tools are enough; a screw gun is the main tool.
Full-overlay doors leave small, even gaps, so the install needs to be level and square. If you are not experienced, we recommend a local professional installer.
Ask us for the assembly manuals; our team sends them with your order.
